The equipment that a restaurant needs depends on what it’s serving, how it is set up to serve, and how many people it plans to accommodate.

Commonly needed commercial kitchen equipment includes microwave oven and deep fryer, food processors and mixers, transportation racks and carts. However, the types of this equipment or more specialized items depends on several factors.

What is commercial kitchen equipment?

Commercial kitchen equipment is more durable, heavy-duty, high volume capacity and food-safe than household kitchen equipment. A commercial kitchen will contain the same kinds of appliances as a residential one, but refrigerators and freezers will be larger and more powerful, while dishwashers will use hotter water and have more capacity. Gas-powered ovens and stoves often require a larger size of incoming gas line than is found in a residence. Smaller appliances, like food processors and peelers, are oftentimes larger and more heavy-duty--not to mention, more specialized. For example, whereas a home kitchen might have a food processor that peels potatoes, a commercial kitchen may have a worktop potato peeler that can handle 500 pounds of potatoes an hour and costs $3,000.
